As a veteran firefighter, I love that era of fire engine.DT 466 was so reliable. I learned on 2 speed axles with 5 speed trans. Great buy..
Thank you Ken for what you do. There a few things as rewarding as helping people in their greatest time of need. I joined my local Fire Department when I was 17. I very much loved structure, wildland, and EMS until I left at the age of 23 to join the Navy as a Corpsman and continue helping people. Like so many others I was on shift at our small local department when the twin towers fell on the other side of the country. We were all wanting in the day room devastated. The Fire Department shaped my life and is something I always cherish.
same here I was with NURD in Glide in the mid 90's loved 2nd job I miss doing besides being a tanker
I worked wildland firefighting in California during the late 90’s, then municipal from 2000-2018. I miss the wildland, that was some good times. And yes, those old DT466 engines just keep going. International has that whole chassis and drive train dialled in. Looking at the numbering on the front bumper, I’ve worked fires with that engine.
we have a Forest Service engine with a DT 570
I was stationed at Dog Valley in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, I too learned to drive that 5 speed with the split rear end. Thanks for sharing all!
I’ve never seen something unloaded so slow ! funny stuff
I'd go as far to say painful
On those old engines there is a set of fuses on the front firewall that are covered under a coating. They often fail and are not readily visible. Fairly common we have them go out on our fire engines. Especially after hard off-road use on a fire
Thank you Grant. I defiantly will be checking them to see if any are blown or knocked out.
if I has a dollar for everytime a customer says we had other semis in here. lmfao.
haha yeah. We have had lowboys up there but every truck is different and turning radius. I always try to give as much info as I can to the driver its 100% their call.
That dog has a killer mullet
for real man. full on punk rock. 🤘
The girl moved it like 1 inch and asked if that was good enough with alignment of the inside tire😭 @13:25
Ive done a fair amount of work with hribar. Always have been great to work with
Anyone else wondering what in the actual f*ck was that dog
In Los Angeles in the Miracle Mile area adjacent to West Hollywood there are all kinds of strange clip Jobs dye jobs on dogs, many times they show up the LACMA free jazz concerts...with very dubious strange owners....
The key is if you want to meet people having a freaky ugly dog... all kinds of actions and interactions can happen...
For some reason this showed up in my suggested videos today. I'd never seen your channel, so now I gotta check out a few more of your videos. We used to live in Dallas and Salem, so something from Oregon caught my eye. Hope this purchase works out well for you!
Awsome Linda. Good to have you aboard. I really do love the mountains and valleys around here.
Current forest service firefighter. Love seeing this and the scba is becoming more common due to vehicle fires
Good to know man. I did wildland almost 20 years ago for the Oregon Department of Forestry and we didn't have them on our trucks then. Not sure if they do now.
I was gonna say that's a nice looking truck...I'll just say it has potential. That camera work was just amazing!
Thank you so much bud. I always love doing drone work and doing more and more to up my skills with the editing.
Wow, lot of truck talk love it (Great video)
Nice. Whenever I go up in the ANF, I always look for USFS firetrucks. Always like those things.
Right on man. I have not been in the Allegheny National Forest. Closest I been over that way is the George Washington National Forest. Beautiful country out that way.
I don't think I've ever been recommended a channel from the same county as me.
Really. where are you from?
@@PaperBeatsRock well after watching the follow up video I realized we are in neihboring counties. But I'm over on the far side of GP towards Robertson Bridge. Before that it was Wolf Creek for almost 20 years. So the area just seemed familiar.
You definitely wouldn't want 4x4 a truck that size with the 4x4 option would be useless. Our department has one and it never sees offroad because of how damn heavy the thing is. It will just sink in the dirt.
Right. on trucks like this the 4wd only gets used like 1% of the time of its whole life.
I wanted to see it fire up...now I will be watching more.
fire up video is out now. Thank you checking it out.
Amazing deal! My mind is blown. I've ridden in many of these they are awesome vehicles. Shockingly expensive to buy new and customize out for a Wildland Fire crummy.
I'm very stoked with the price. I do know that I will end up dumping more into it to get it 100% up and running. But still its far from what it should cost.
“I betcha they didn’t even try hard to start it” 🤔, if they are anything like the Fed Techs I work with I would say you are spot on 😂.
hahaha yup that's exactly it. I bet that if they had got it started it would of went for $5k minimum.
@@PaperBeatsRock I track a lot of auction results, and you would be surprised. I understand many bidders are just buying for parts, but the prices for running vs. non running are strangely similar.
@@dwitcraft Its so odd how some weeks the same thing doesn't go for that much and the next week it going for 5x's the amount. 2 weeks after this auction there were 2 more trucks just like this that went up for auction but they had a mechanic note saying that the engine was blown in them with documentation for a shop. they sold for $5k+
We've still got a 98 international fire truck in my department, it's a DT466E, its old and unrefined but it's a good old truck, never causes any fuss and keeps going to work
for sure man. I got a warm spot in my heart for these trucks. When I worked for Oregon Department of Forestry we had a few of them although they where all single cabs.
@@PaperBeatsRock the one we still have is a single cab too, not s ton of room on it, they bought it when I was a little kid and it's still kicking around
We still have the old model 14 fire engines with the dt466 as our reserve engines. They just won’t die, and the thing will pump a hose lay with a screaming pump all day and be no worse for wear.
@@grantthomas5501 First time I ran into them was while working for the Oregon Department of Forestry back in 1998. Our 500gal trucks were single cab short wheel base 7400 with the DT466. The trucks could turn around on most BLM roads without needing to back up. better turning radius than our type 6s.
@@grantthomas5501 we've got a 98 with the DT466E, it got a rebuilt pump 3 years ago and will outpump some of our much newer trucks 👌
Our mid nineties DT-466 fire engines are very picky on fuel - filters plug very easily, our local bus mechanic taught us to pull and clean them, what a difference...
oh yeah man. constantly have to be watching for water in the fuel or dirty tanks.
If your phone/camera uses a USB cable for recharging you can get one of those lithium ion car battery boosters. They come with USB ports that you can plug your USB cable into to recharge or power your device with. They also usually have one port for devices that require more than the usual amount of current, like a laptop computer.
Just found your channel today. Great stuff! And I recognize the area, I don't live too far away. That truck passed 1 mile from my house🙂
Thank you so much John and right on man. I love the area around here.
That's why I'm glad they haven't got the smell of vision
Your the lucky one Byron lol
😊thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching.
When you’re passing the next video love to see more
That thing is awesome !
yes it is. I was out working on it today and recording video. Next video is going to be good.
It would make one hell of a welding rig.
for sure. I really want this to be a multi-purpose truck.
@@PaperBeatsRock I’d turn that extended part into a sleeper so I could have overnight trips without a hotel.
lol they hit him with the old we down the street we be there in a min🤣🤣🤣
haha yup Aries, I got suckered in on that one. Lot of people been telling me "don't believe anything brokers say" I will be mindful going forward
@@PaperBeatsRock yeah them brokers is probably the grimmest off them all. Most of them have no knowledge of the trucking industry as far as i the real time frame on loads delivery. Also they over charge shippers and under pay the drivers. I seen videos and heard stories from my friends of them finding the same load on a different load board at the truck stop for a different price. i witness it back in 2008 when i was riding alone trucking with a friend.
@@iamonearies21 Damn that's dirty man. I have a few friends in the industry and they never got anything good to say about the brokers.
One of these retired Forest Service Wildland Engines would make a great Extricatíon Rig for Car Accidents. Plenty of room in that rear compartment for Cribbing, and a set of Cutters and Spreaders. I would have the Tools on the bottom of the Compartment, and Cribbing in the upper area. Other Various Hand and Power Tools can be placed in the Side Compartments, along with a set of Air Bags. Re load the hose reels with fresh booster hose, and maybe add a Pre connected 1.5 or 1.75 inch handline up in the hose bed. A couple SCBA's in the Cab, and a few bags of Oil Dry up in the bed, refill the Water Tank, and foam tank if it is so equipped.
defiantly would be a solid rescue. I'm not sure how many GPM the pump can do but 500 gallon tank it would be fine for vehicle fire as well.
Great video. Awesome new hauler.
Thank you Mark.
Really good buy!! She will clean up good.
Thank you. I'm definitely not looking forward to cleaning the cab lol
@@PaperBeatsRock ID do it for free if I lived by you. lol... I enjoy that kinda thing.. the before and after .
Good job bringing that truck back to life. Model 62 B fire engine. There are tons of those in local fire departments now. It is actually a 1998 model International ("W" in the 8th-to-the-last place of the VIN means 1998 model, "V" for 1997). The Forest Service considers the year of completion as the year of the truck. Regular cab model 42 engines--with "driveline retarders"?--"drive like 4x4s." The Forest Service budget means not too many 4x4 engines. The Forest Service's 88-page model 62 engine operator guide can be Google'd and downloaded online with specifications and troublshooting, etc. Vehicle # 6233 is noted in it!
Dude thank you so much. I have been looking for something like this. This is a huge help. I knew there had to be a operators manual out there. I been trying to find a service manual as well. I may have to hit up Boise Mobile Equipment. Again thank you Fire Bufff.
Take the box off and turn it into a 5th wheel RV hauler is a great idea!
That's what I have been thinking. I'm sure it makes a great fire truck as well just not something I currently need.
oh wow I didnt know you lived in the Rogue Valley!!! I grew up off off of Taylor Creek RD above the Morrison's Lodge, Grandpa had 80 acres up there miss the area. (moving back to drive for Terrain Tamers-Dillard)
I was not the 97 but your close. I didn't have any road footage so I just used some off a trip I just did to Susanville. That would of been on the 89 to the 44 right by Old Station.
lol $1,800, I almost can't believe it, what a steal.
Yeah man. It was a pretty good deal.
I've used Fabreze on multiple used vehicles with really good luck. If I could suggest using a respirator when cleaning the cab of all the droppings.
Thank you for the tip Robert. I'm going to be ripping all the interior out of this one to make sure its property clean.
We had a 1994 4300 box truck,that DTA 466 was a good motor,however it had the 6+1 seven speed and had issues with the shift forks coming loose and wiping out a few parts , in all fairness we ran it heavy and hard it would really roll on down the road
Yeah i have always been a fan of the DT 466. I'm not well versed on the 6+1 though.
This truck is gonna be a great looking hauler for you. And you’ll be able to get some coin back in your pocket if you sell the bed on it cause they’re worth something if they’re in good condition
For sure man. I'm hoping it pays for the cost of the truck and maybe the transport but I don't want to set on it forever so I will probably sell it at a discount rate just so it moves on.
I think you got a steal. Honestly, I’m surprised that it’s not a 4WD unit. Looks clean - poop, pee, and cadaver rat notwithstanding.
hahah yeah clean but..... I agree though man. its an amazing deal. I feel even better now that I got it running/driving. new video just dropped.
I love it 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you Ricky
So jealous love the type 3 engines
Thanks man. I really lucked out on getting this.
Good camera work man I like the over head view
Thank you Mike. I enjoy doing the drone work.
Dawn and purple power brush and a shop vac. Make sure you clean the headliner too
dude thank you for the reminder for the headliner. I would of skipped over that.
Add ODO-BAN to cleaning mix.
Right on man. Thank you for the heads up. will check it out.
Have on an 01 466e for my box truck company. Wish I had a fleet of them.
Thank are very good engines Tommy. With a bit of tlc this one will last a good while.
nice video love these engines was a firefighter for 3 years out of Glide. I have family in Medford area and in Williams/ Grants Pass area. just found your channel today.
Right on man. I actually fought wildland fire out of glide in 2002. Was the apple seed fire. What branch of the military were you in? I'm guessing the Marine Corps based off the name.
@@PaperBeatsRock was a Marine 8years and Army 14 years.
@@corpnut2906 Happy 247th Devil. I was a Doc and spent a lot of time in Camp Lejuene. 2/8, 1/8, MWSS 273.
@@PaperBeatsRock sweet doc I was regimental tow at 3rd, 8th Marines Dragons at Kilo 3/8 and 2nd TOW Co 2nd Tanks. Semper Fi brother
Great video keep it up bro
Thanks man. will do
I would love that truck
Its a pretty sweet deal. cant believe myself.
I've been running DT466 engines for over 29 years, we have only lost one engine to a blown head gasket, and one turbo. Not bad. My old truck is 22 years old (4700 model) and still ready for a days work. Pre 2008, sign me up!
Hell yes Mark. I have owned a few 4700s, and one other 4900. They are great trucks for sure. This one is going to take a bit of cleaning but trust me when I say the engine purrs like a kitten. Next video is a good one.
@@PaperBeatsRock Nice!
Dude, that was a steal, I'd be making a Race Transporter out of it myself, that thing is slick!
dude for real. There are some more that come up from time to time. definitely something to check out.
Man, you could sell that box and repay the whole truck!
For real man. that is the plan but we will see. 500 gallons is kinda low for a type 3 engine. also the box is way shorter than most private guys run. That being said we are going to hopefully get the cost of the truck out of it.
SCORE!!! Great now I'll be on the gsa auction sight everyday, thanks 🙄
I'm here for you Brent. Helping you spend money that you don't need to hahaha.
@@PaperBeatsRock 🤣 worst part is we live in the same valley so when I see it on the road my jealousy will grow.
Its just motivation man to keep pushing 👍 There is more out there to be had.
As soon as as you started your little drive and showed the surroundings I like that looks awful lot like Oregon and then I was looking at the vehicles in the background of you at that yard so Oregon plates and then when you showed the clothes down Market I looked it up so I just thought it was interesting to realize you're in Oregon you're still quite a ways away from me I'm in Oak Ridge
Right on Matt. Great to have another Oregonian watching. I actually live right outside of Shady Cove. Your only about 2, 1/2 hrs away. I have never been to Oakridge or on hwy 58. It maybe a trip I'll have to do come this spring when the weather is nicer.
@@PaperBeatsRock I hope that truck works out for you it's kind of cool and of course I'm so used to seeing those damn things right now with everything that's going on in the last couple months but I used to drive a single cab one when I ran a tow truck years ago and it was a 5 speed in the Internationals that I drove for Oak Harbor they were 7 speeds but I tend to drive 10 speeds and bigger
Might I make a suggestion if you're going to take the firefighting body and pump off do it carefully please and advertise it because of volunteer fire department that may not have a lot of money may want to buy that off of you so be careful when disconnecting the pump and taking off the body you might be able to make your money back that you spend on a truck just by selling the body in a pump in the tank.. there's a lot of poor little volunteer fire departments that would pay a couple thousand dollars for that body pump and tank
Yes sir. I was planning on giving the system a proper test. I'm pretty sure that the pump packing is old, dry, and brittle and it will probably not pull a draft but still it needs to be properly tested so I can inform the next owner of the pump what to expect. There is a few smaller volunteer departments around here that may end up wanting it. We also have a huge amount of private wildland fire fighters that build their own trucks and run them under contract with federal and state. I'm sure any of them would be happy to pick up one at a discount price. shoot even the hose reels are a huge chunk of change.
11r22.5s are still availible. as ar low pro 24.5 .(same height/smaller sidewall) your truck uses budd wheels. and aluminum versions are availible. I have a few spares if you want.
is there a big benefit running the low pro 24.5 vs the 22.5s?
@@PaperBeatsRock shorter sidewall, bigger rim, less sidewall deflection.
And some of them have 4WD and with a pump and roll on them and that truck in the pocket command books in the ics type 3 wildland fire engine and type 4 as well
I would of loved to get one of the 4wd models. These really do seem to be one hell of a truck. I'm trying to find what I can for research on them but google is not turning up much.
That’s wimer Oregon i thought that market looked familiar 😂😂
yes sir. I grew up in the Wimer area and have fond memory's of going down to Craig's market and getting jo jo's
A type 3 wildland brush truck in 2WD is nuts.
They did make a 4wd model as well this year for the USFS. I guess it depends on the requirements of the area.
@@PaperBeatsRock most of the FS engines in CA operate in mountainous areas during the summer where pre established roads are the only option. True off-roading isn't really a thing like it is on BLM land so that's why 2wd works.
See that is fine example why our damn government should be nailed to the wall for wasting our tax dollars. They took a perfectly good running truck and let it sit and go to hell. If they are going to replace with new then sell the old ones while they still run. That will make sweet hauler
Dude for real. I saw so much waste while I was in the Military and still see so much more with the auctions I go to. If this truck was left in service there was nothing wrong with it and I would of served so many more years of service to get more money out of it.
@@PaperBeatsRock aint wrong. buddy bought a h1, came with new engine and tires cause they reached "service life" but think only had like 1800 miles on it. never left the base..
@@oregonfordguy9812 damn. hell of a deal. People hate on the 6.5 but it's still a decent engine and gets the job done.
I learned to drive a split in one just like that. Might take some TLC but a really good rig. Would be so cool if you kept it green but I doubt it.
Hell yes Bud. It does match my shop but I think we will be changing the color a little. Going to swap over to a matte OD Green with the rest blacked out. kind of match up with my time in the service.
@@PaperBeatsRock can’t wait to see it. I’ve spent many hours at the pump panel imagining what I would do with a cab/chassis like that.
What in the actual hell happened to the dog?
Watching this unload fiasco had my patience screaming.
Looks like it may have got a little toasty on the officer side when you look at the reflective sticker.
yeah Daniel that's our guess as well. Sure doesn't take much to cook them stickers. supriced the paint all around it is fine though.
Old generation 2 or generation 3 model 62. That rig has been rode hard.
yeah im sure it has. back mountain roads bouncing wash boards and what not. regardless its still a hell of a deal.
Model 62 "B" fire engine. The model 62 "A" was the Ford F-800 regular cab.
Fire proof boxes
Not sure you can even drive it in California due to EPA requirements.
You can't. California really screwed all their businesses over with that law. I live in Southern Oregon and we are fine... For now.
Would be nice for a small rural fire department if refurbished.
several of them have. We even have a few of them at local departments around here. This one is out of California and because of State law it can't be used there because of the EPA diesel emission laws they have put into place.
anybody else notice the delivery truck has both stacks facing passenger side
Oh wow didn't even notice that. Ill have to ask Chris why.
Yes the drivers side stack turned coming across the 412 in New Mexico with 75 mph cross winds, I have not had a chance to turn it back yet and since it was still tight I left it for now.
@@chriswetzel2240 I actually think it looks pretty badass. Start something new haahaha
On some of those new Pete’s one of those stacks is for decoration
@@ILHillbilly67 I work at a Pete dealership, you can option them with a weedburner, right stack only, right exhaust with left dummy stack, or both as real stacks. Of course, both being real costs you extra. Not sure how much though, I'm a mechanic, not in sales.
The body is worth a chunk of change. Auction means it is junk no one wants. Hope it is not worse then your told..
Next video is devently worth a watch Scott. Just got home and its looking like we got a real gem on our hands 😀
Auction means state employees can't buy it. I can't tell you how many times I picked up a truck from the state that they either bought new ones or just didnt use it. Bought a 14 E350 bus with new tires, batteries and all preventative maintenance even a full tank of gas for 700$ drove it home. Had it for over a year.
Gsa auction is open to anyone
Great deal I think.
yes sir. I think we did very well.
Must hold about 5 gallons of water too.
…more like 500 gallons
when you go to clean that out I’d wear a good respirator to protect yourself from any of those nasty little germs/disease that rat crap could have
For sure man. I'm dreading the cab clean up for sure. going to be so nasty.
Honestly man I would of donated it to a township or county that needed another fire truck.
Thats way too cool. You gotta get it going 😝 out of curiosity, how do you know ow what SCBAs are? Most people don't know that unless they've been involved with fire
I joined the local volunteer Fire Department when I was 17 did structure, wildland, and EMS tell I was 23 and joined the Navy. I held the departments fast SCBA time for ever until my buddy Stu joined the department and then is as a constant back and forth trying to beat each other.
@@PaperBeatsRock nice! I knew you were navy but didn't know you did fire as well, I joined my local volunteer FD two years ago, next to my wife and daughter it's the best thing I've done, all the hassles and hard calls are worth it in the end
For sure bud. Its extremely rewarding to be there and helping people during the worst of times. There is a big part of me that misses it a lot and then the other that.. well.. I'm still dealing with stuff.
I think scba's and structure fire gear are only carried on usfs engines from calif.
First video I've seen from you, great production and content quality, are you editing your own videos?
Thank you very much Jordan. Yes I am editing my own videos. I still got a long ways to go with my quality but its coming along.
We wear air packs for any smoke or hazardous material sir, not just structure fires. What are you going to do with the old girl?
I'm removing the bed, tank, and pump. I'm turning the truck into a hauler. I use to do structure and wildland back in the day but we never carried SCBAs on our wildland trucks. I can see why though when you're the only agency around.
Great truck!! I bought an 85 international just like this.
Right on man. Yours would of had the manual injectors. I'm jealous.
Dude, you stated that the inside smells bad, yet u left the dead rat in the storage area. take some gloves and REMOVE THE RAT.
haha yeah it needs cleaning bad.
The worse thing about this truck is the dead rat 🤣🤣
you see what nasty diesel in the next video.
i’d leave it as is and use it as a water and repair truck
It would be able to do that role very well.
lordy lord. what are you up to now.
dt466 will be easy refire. should be easy fix. and that will make a great hauler. find a western hauler bed, and a 10spd/od with a single speed rear end.
oh yea and a paint job.
For sure. I was thinking of maybe doing a swap over to 4wd. They got MRAP t cases at the auction and can put some mrap axles under it. I will defiantly need to look at proper gears and trans set up for the hwy though.
Yup already on my mind set. USFS paint is pretty ugly and getting faded makes it even worse.
@@PaperBeatsRock for gearing and highway use i wouldn't. itll be reved up and angry under load. if your gonna use it for a hauler I'd think simpler. the old powerline IH trucks were 4x4 and a donor might be better for 4x4 and still give you decent use.
Buy me a fire truck and I will use it for the purposes it was designed for!
There is still a bunch of them out there.
So the $1,000'ish for it isn't all that bad but what did the the parts cost? Tows ain't cheap and semi's ain't cheap🤔 I'd love to get some of the stuff too but worried it'd be stuck or I'd need to get a better runner.
I was worried about transport. It was 519miles from where it was to my house and as a disabled vehicle cost is traditionally more. It cost me a total of $1,770 for the transport. Now there is defiantly going to be more cost that goes into this after a bare minimum of getting it running and driving on the road safely before I start to do all my custom work. I will be doing a video about that to give everyone a proper break down so you know the real cost it was to me.
@@PaperBeatsRock looking forward to watching this build and learning more
Never understood why they would make an off-road wildland truck without 4x4. Limits the ability of the truck not just off road but in adverse weather conditions.
I agree but in my 6 years that I was a engine slug doing wildland firefighting here in Oregon 95% of the time the trucks were on gravel BLM roads. Our biggest problem was wheel base. Trucks that can't turn around on those roads were a even larger problem.
CA is pretty dry. I did off-roading for years in a 4x2 Toyota with a little bit of lift, and rarely had an issue. In the areas that get a lot of snow, you'd never want to go at those times anyway. They build most of the fire roads to be pretty mild.
@@xray606 agree the roads here are easy. But the fact is you don’t know where the engine will go, what state, or what area and when. It can be sent to Montana on a strike team.
There are some harsh fire roads, but the engine doesn’t have to be on a road. And off roading in a Toyota is way different than a truck with water sloshing around and all your weight on a back axel.
This was a Northern CA rig, tons of harsh fire roads and off road areas deep in the woods.
Because experience tells them it's not needed, and you're better off matching the tool to the job. It's the reason I switched my tires to a less aggressive tread... there will be times I can use the more aggressive tread, but if 99% of my drive doesn't require it, I'd rather have a smoother ride.
Get it running and sell it back to the Government for a profit.
They have all our tax dollars. They just want new stuff. 😓
@@PaperBeatsRock Wait until there's a major Fire, then sell it back to them.
Do you mind telling us what you paid to get it moved up from CA? How did you arrange it(broker, Freightquote, etc)? Thx
I will do a video showing a break down on all the cost to date for you and all the steps I did to get it here.
@@PaperBeatsRock Cool! I saw one other guy(this week with cars) did a video about buying an M1078(LMTV) from a GSA auction and I think he got a couple M views, and at that time his subscriber level was similar to yours. Good luck!
Or anything like that lol. I think you've said that 40 times
try taking a shot every time I say it....5mins in black out drunk hahaha, but yeah that's a hard bad habit for me to break. I need to work more on it.
Probably replacing with electric car
How much cost/time/miles for the 2 Towing Vehicle's?
I do video showing cost up to date.
If it looses AIR it stops, correct? Or is that ONLY the trailers?
yes it requires air to open the brakes. It can have an air leak but as long as the compressor is strong enough to over come it then the brakes will be fine. The air leak still needs to be addressed though.
the front steer? arent the steers always in the front?😜
You got me. hahaha. Although I do really want rear steer as well.
Conservation corps rigs
Got it off safe. Them skinny ramps? Or is it just me 🤔
Your not wrong. the ramps are only meant for singles and not duals, but you use what you got.
How many hours on the motor, I wonder.
I will have to double check but I believe that its 5,000hrs. so if you take that and Xs it by 60 that will give you 300,000 miles equivalent
.
More like a 70 then a 90
Is the store abandoned? Someone else may want to park there.
yes the store is abandoned, and its where a lot of people stop to check cell service.
What did that dog do to deserve that?

maybe you can live in it?
Im sure some could live out of it bet there is better vehicles to do that with.
Would cost £12000 in Uk easy
I'm sure there is government auctions in the UK where you can pick stuff up at a decent price. If not that sucks
@@PaperBeatsRock yes you are correct, up until probably 3 years ago you could get very cheap military vehicles but not anymore, around 5 years ago the government mod (ministry of defence) sold hundreds of green goddess fire engines 1950s done less than 100 kilometres for £1500 pounds each, really wish I had bought one, look them up they are nice
@@ricky450f our auctions here are just finally starting to come down in price. This is because the used truck market is falling in price with the increase in inflation that we are seeing in the U.S. at least that's my thoughts on it.
oops
